After reviewing over 1,000 charts, I have found some good setups for the week. These were selected and should be viewed in the context of the broad Market Macro picture reviewed Friday which with August options expiration in the books and heading into the Jackson Hole Fed Conference, saw equity markets looking strong, holding up in the face of worse than expected inflation reports.

Elsewhere, look for Gold to continue in consolidation in its uptrend while Crude Oil drifts in consolidation. The US Dollar Index continues the intermediate term move to the downside near 3 year lows while US Treasuries continue to consolidate in their downtrend. The Shanghai Composite looks to continue the rise to the top of the broad consolidation area while Emerging Markets continue their uptrend.

The Volatility Index looks to continue at low levels making life easier for equity markets to the upside as they print new highs. The charts of the SPY and QQQ continue to look strong on both timeframes, holding at all-time highs. The IWM is slightly weaker as it continues to struggle to clear and hold at new highs for the year. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
